SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The developers behind The Cape on Bowen took a sustainable approach to the development and approvals for this spectacular piece of land. The plan documents the many measures already implemented, including a detailed environmental assessment which determined natural areas to be protected. As part of their ongoing commitment to sustainable development, this document offers some suggestions on how you can carry on their initiative. Pottinger Gaherty Environmental Consultants Ltd. (PGL) assisted The Cape on Bowen in a review of the proposed development, using elements of LEED(TM) Canada for Homes, Built Green(TM) and Smart Growth principles as evaluation tools. This review is not intended to replicate these systems, but alternatively to articulate the sustainability goals the project has adopted, and the strategies available for achieving those goals under the following categories:
1. Energy
2. Environmental Protection
3. Water
4. Indoor Air Quality
5. Materials
6. Waste Management
7. Education
